Eight Random Things About me.......tagged by Isabella's Closet

Just today I saw where Mary of Isabella's Closet tagged me for the meme 'Eight Random Things About Me'.........so here goes.....

1. I am the youngest of 6 children...my oldest brother was 25 when I was born, the youngest was 14....

2. I have taken Taekwondo Karate.......

3. Four of my siblings and my mother died of cancer and my only living sibling has had cancer......

4. I've played the piano for 55 years and love it.....

5. I do not eat eggs......except in cooked food that I can't see.

6. The last egg I ate was 45 years ago when I was expecting our first child, I felt I owed it to her. I didn't eat one with the other child......she loves eggs....

7. I wear one contact lense....I am near sighted and that takes care of seeing at a distance.

8. I love to swim in a pool but I do not swim in the ocean. A friend drowned in the ocean when we were children and that quenched my desire to play in the ocean.

Now I am to select eight people:

l. Rhoda at Southern Hospitality2. Dot at Strolling Through Georgia3. Tracy at Unless the Lord4. Amy at Ponderings of Picketfence Mom5. Susanna Rose at This New York6. Sharon at Keeper of the Home7. Cityfarmer at savyscityfarmer8. Anita at My Country Cottage Garden

Guide lines: List eight random things or habits about yourself. At the end of your post, select eight people to follow suit........

Wow, I enjoyed reading your list and am sobered to hear of all the cancer that has been in your family...that is tragic. Thanks for tagging me! I finally got around to completing this activity and had a lot of fun! *I've actually linked to my blog Mommy, Inc instead of my New York blog since I felt this exercise was more relivent at my mommy blog (www.mommyinc.blogspot.com)! Now I must go and send messages to the women I linked to!:)

These were interesting facts about you. I love to learn more about people. There certainly is a big age gap between you and your siblings. I'm so sorry about the cancer. How can you stand to wear ONE contact lense?? Thanks for sharing!!

Enjoyed learning more about you Betty. We have cancer in our family too and this weekend we're walking in the Relay for Life. It helps me feel as though I'm doing something positive to fight this awful disease.xo

Thank you for visiting my Open House yesterday. You asked how Phillip and I met...Well, when I was 13 my family moved from Canada to San Diego, CA (big change!). About a year later there was an ad in the paper about a new church starting up. My family went to the very first service and so did Phillip's family. There are 8 in my family and 9 in his and we all took up 1/2 the church...hehee. That's how we met!

Hi Betty:-) I so enjoyed reading these random facts about you! Such interesting facts too!! I'd never heard of only wearing one contact lens but it makes sense! lol I would love to hear you play the piano:-) What a shame that cancer has taken away so many of your family members...it took my dad away when he was 48 years old. xoxo

Good list. I will not get into the ocean either mostly because i am afraid of what is out there. i love a pool though. Once when i was young a little girl pulled me way out in the ocean and then left me. I was scared to death and that about did me in for getting in the ocean. I love going there though...Smile.Sandy
